Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear March 19, 2005 Share March 19, 2005 Heard the new 320 is about $150K, whereas the old 318 costs $120+ discounted... Why compare new 320 with old 318? Because the engine is essentially the same 4 pot! The 2.2 smooth 6 is no longer available for 320 unlike the last gen. Got to go for 325 or 330 for smooth 6 action nowadays. So basically $30K for new body and gadgets...hmmm.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW320i Neutral Newbie March 19, 2005 Share March 19, 2005 Just treat the E90 320 as the E46 318 and the 325 as the E46 320 lor. Apparently it isn't over priced if you consider the fact the amount of accessories you get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahhan7 Neutral Newbie March 19, 2005 Share March 19, 2005 i think its always the case. new model come out, the price will be pretty high. but i think 150K for the new 320 is alright. take Latio for example. i think the Latio is overpriced being only a 1.5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porker Turbocharged March 19, 2005 Share March 19, 2005 OT.. The 18 inch Ellipsoid rims looks damn good on the E90. But I think a Nissan Sunny will be able to out run the 320 if you hook it up with the 18 inchers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear March 19, 2005 Author Share March 19, 2005 But trading in the silky smooth 6 320 engine for a previous 318 engine for the new 320...sigh... Why? Why did BMW do it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porker Turbocharged March 19, 2005 Share March 19, 2005 2.2l 6 pot seriously under powered bro. For that weight. I know BMW320i is going to me for saying this However, its a sweet engine. The Germans probably realised it and decided to phase out this engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW320i Neutral Newbie March 19, 2005 Share March 19, 2005 I'll give you the number to their HQ in Germany. When you find out let me know. E46 320 originally priced $170 during launch. For that price it is on par with the E90 325. Maybe you may consider the 325 instead ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW320i Neutral Newbie March 19, 2005 Share March 19, 2005 Hawlow. 320i is a family sedan not WRX or your EVOs category. You want something fast go buy your Z4 or S2000 or whatever the hell you said you wanted to buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear March 19, 2005 Author Share March 19, 2005 (edited) I'm not saying anything about racer boy innuendoes here. Let's not get into my car is better than your car syndrome, or badge loyalty. I also did not state "what the hell I want to buy either", so pls discuss without the sarcasm. It's about the smoothness of 6 traditionally in a 320 now swapped with a 318 4 pot, yet badged as a 320. That's questionable to me, notwithstanding the reports of excellent handling by the 330 that are avail for road tests by reviewers thus far. It's a great car, and always has been. But the swap in engine..?? Edited March 19, 2005 by Vblaster_w211 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porker Turbocharged March 19, 2005 Share March 19, 2005 I hope you're just kidding on that. I mentioned power to weight ratio and not that engine. You're beginning to get on my nerves with your constant nagging Good day to you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW320i Neutral Newbie March 19, 2005 Share March 19, 2005 I'm just as disappointed as you are when they rebadge the 320 with a 318. But like I said the E46 was priced at $170k during launch hence if you wanna put it this way, you might want to take the E90 325 instead. If E90 320 is 150bhp I wonder whats 318 going to be.

Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear March 19, 2005 Author Share March 19, 2005 Guys, peace, please?? Looks like the 325 would be the ideal 3, although a mite expensive considering other options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Clutched March 19, 2005 Share March 19, 2005 i think its always the case. new model come out, the price will be pretty high. but i think 150K for the new 320 is alright. take Latio for example. i think the Latio is overpriced being only a 1.5 I got a Polish friend, he told me most people think that most Japanese cars in Poland are better than European cars like VW, Skoda, Seat, Renault, Citroen, Opel etc... and Nissan happen to be priced higher than most Jap. cars... after driving a Jap. Ford Laser on contract for 6 mths, he think Europeans cars still better... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porker Turbocharged March 19, 2005 Share March 19, 2005 325 would be sufficient I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear March 19, 2005 Author Share March 19, 2005 (edited) The launch of E46 was $170K, but that time, the E200K was $220K, whereas I got mine around $180K recently! The E90 325 is probably sweet, but price is probably I suspect the E90 318 might be 130 to 140bhp then, since the E90 is 150 bhp.

BMW320i Neutral Newbie March 19, 2005 Share March 19, 2005 The E46 320 can smoke majority of your family sedan categories out there so I wonder whats your definition of "Under-Powered" I was glad I could get on your nerve but you most definitely got on everybody nerves on your new car rampage.

Crv2004 Clutched March 19, 2005 Share March 19, 2005 Are you sure that the 318 is so cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porker Turbocharged March 19, 2005 Share March 19, 2005 Hey whatever man. Actually I can't afford to buy any car. I was just pretending to be rich and ask about all sorts of cars. Thats what you like to hear isn't it? I'm done talking to you. You're only 21 yrs old. And it shows thoroughly in the way you handle things. Thanks and good day Sir. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
